llisa blinked, she rolled up the oversized sleeve of her shirt up to her upper arm uncomfortably, then shook her head in denial. "Don't be like that, co in and warm yourself!"
Lilia was led by llisa into the living room. Before sitting down, she could hear footsteps coming from the spiral staircase on the left.
At the corner of the stairs, Leonard walked steadily with a manly posture.
Lilia didn't make a sound, but looking at the man's cold face a little... the corner of her mouth twitched nervously.
Her arrival tonight seed to have greatly disturbed whatever her sister and her brother-in-law was doing.
This was all because of Chris!
Lilia couldn't help but curse him secretly. Just because of jealousy, Chris was willing to drive to her house at night and vent his jealousy in front of her husband. In the end, they were discussing serious matters and she had to leave so they could chat freely.
If only Chris hadn't run away from the hospital, Lilia wouldn't have co to the house next door to interfere with her sister's intimate mont!
When she saw Leonard's eyes were clearly fixed on her, Lilia nodded politely. Still, the man's gaze was so... unpleasant!
Lilia wanted to cry without tears. After turning her face away from her future brother-in-law, she looked at llisa. In an instant, she gave a plausible excuse. "I ca at night because I wanted to talk to you about our departure tomorrow."
llisa closed her collar, she ignored Leonard and imdiately pulled her sister to the seat. "You don't have to bother coming to , I was going to see you later."
At this ti, Leonard was slowly getting closer, and he didn't know what llisa and Lilia were talking about. Then Lilia's future brother-in-law brought two cups of tea from the kitchen and handed them over to llisa. "Drink sothing warm. You've just finished exercising, don't catch a cold!"
llisa's face turned red. She couldn't reply to him.
Lilia could only sit dumbfounded. She really wanted to go ho.
After speaking in a faint tone, Leonard turned around and sat opposite them calmly. He took the iPad on the side and scrolled the screen seriously and carefully.
llisa was so angry that her breathing beca chaotic, didn't he just kiss her on the neck? Why was he talking nonsense in front of her sister?
Since when did she start exercising?!
'I was packing, you know! I also had to wear your shirt because you spilled water on my clothes right?'
'Leonard, you will sleep on the couch today!'
llisa steadily exhaled and ran her fingers through her hair, combing it backward. She looked pale while she stared at Leonard. Then she turned her head to look at Lilia and continued, "We're leaving at 8 tomorrow morning. Grandpa called today and said he would send soone to et us at the station later."
Her sister listened without squinting, trying to ignore her future brother-in-law whose presence was strong.
Nobody knew what had happened that the man stared at Lilia as if she was a stranger.
This was also the first ti this guy had been so upset!
Lilia shook her head with a smile, then sat down before answering llisa, "Okay, no problem. But after arriving in Jakarta, should we continue to stay at the hotel or..."
She didn't explain further, but Lilia was sure that her sister understood what she ant.
From her point of view, there was a big difference between an iron heart family like the Mayer family and an erudite like the Irwan family. But considering grandpa Caleb's attitude, it was unlikely they'd stay with him.
Only this ti, Jean also would go along and live in the Mayer family's house. But Lilia didn't know if he'd be welcod well.
At this ti, llisa sipped her glass and moisturized her lips before casually saying, "I think 80% Grandpa will arrange for us to stay in the Mayer family's house."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lilia again and realized a sad look on her face. She put down her glass and imdiately held her hand with her tightly grasped fingers. "Don't worry, I'm right there with you."
Lilia looked at the tips of her fingers. Without realizing it, she trembled as she stiffened a little. But then she tried to erase her anxiety and smiled. "I'm not worried, I'm just afraid sothing will happen."
As soon as she heard those words, llisa nodded seriously. "You don't have to worry too much. After we finish our business, we can imdiately return to live in Surabaya. Now think about it, our life is also very good lately."
After going through too many twists and turns in life, llisa was especially interested in seeking spiritual stability.
In the last few days, llisa had been living in Surabaya right next to her sister.
No flashy lifestyle and chaotic world, no commotion, just a peaceful everyday life had made her crave for peace.
llisa curled the corners of her lips, her face was filled with a hint of a smile. But her cold eyes were shining with a deep longing.
When Leonard heard her words across their table, his fingers slowed down from scrolling the screen. Before Lilia could speak, Leonard looked at llisa and said, "That's right, living in Surabaya is really good, isn't it? Lots of malls and good food, lots of beautiful parks that we can visit. This city is suitable for families."
Now Leonard's family learned that he had resigned from his official position in the capital's police force. They had urged him to co back and take over the family business.
He was a bit hesitant since he knew his heart could never leave lissa.
Lilia silently lowered her cheeks and smiled faintly. she felt that llisa and Leonard seed to be getting closer.
At this ti, llisa glanced at Leonard with a faint expression on her face, and refused to look at him. "I like living in Surabaya just because my sister is here!"
'Oh, I see!'
Leonard looked at them without any hesitation, then seriously replied, "Oh, really? That ans you don't like living with you? Why are you suddenly different from your loving attitude in the bed earlier?"
Lilia could only gawk, how should she respond to this much information?!
"Don't listen to that person's delusions!" llisa grumbled, her eyebrows furrowed in disgust.
Lilia could feel the depth of their relationship from the way they talked to each other. When she was with Leonard, llisa had a more active personality and richer expression.
The two sisters were chatting for a while when suddenly the doorbell rang.
Lilia almost subconsciously stood up and walked out, still muttering. "Maybe Jean's following here!"
She thought Jean might co to pick her up and take her ho.
Outside the door, the man appeared in front of her in a simple black shirt with a coat on his sleeve, the one that he often wore on weekdays. His gaze was filled with warmth.
Lilia smiled and stepped forward, leaning in his arms and raising her head. "Are you done?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for a long ti," the man hugged her and rubbed her shoulders twice as if to calm her.
At this ti, the sound of footsteps was heard, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Leonard and llisa also greeting them.
n had their own language when they t each other. They just nodded and rarely spoke.
llisa stood near the entrance and looked at Jean. "Would you like to co over to chat too?"
The man hadn't answered yet, but Lilia smiled and shook her head. "No, I have to go back and pack my luggage, you... just continue your business!"
llisa was stunned and glanced at Lilia.
Leonard grinend wide and replied without any hesitation, "Then be careful!"
He didn't even try to sugarcoat his words when he wanted to shoo them away.
Jean then put his coat on Lilia's shoulder. Even though he didn't say much, his deep gaze fell on Leonard and llisa for two seconds, then he led Lilia back to their house.
llisa felt that she was not breathing smoothly anymore.
She stood still and exhaled a heavy sigh. Then she turned around and raised her head. "How could you say that... hmphhh!"
"Shhh, don't say anything!"
Leonard locked the corner of llisa's mouth, he would like to collect the pending debt from earlier.
